Shit voice acting

"I don't believe in maaagiiiiicccc"   

Possibly belongs in the comedy thread but fuck it.

Shit voice acting in old video games is an art in my opinion. Some of these really caught me off guard.

Also, they're all so poorly written as well. Bliss.

No. 9 is amazing. It's almost perfectly robotic.

Here's a little addition:

Goldman, I don't care if the successor comes or not: I'll go on fighting. As long as we have the WILL to LIVE.

If you continue talking in such manner, jerk, you'll soon feel something tight. Around your neck.

Can't you see that he is completely IIIIIILL? That would be the LARST STRAW, if he INFECT, SOMEONE else.

What the fucking fuck is that? Is that the actual game or a bad machinima?

Lemming

I'm afraid that is the game. Planet Alcatraz. It's a Russian-made RPG sort of in the style of the original Fallouts, except filled with jank, nonsensical writing and spectacular voice acting.

SE-CU-RI-TY.

House of the Dead II

Incredibly bad to the point where maybe it is intentionally awful?

Full game worth of bad voice acting here.

It probably sounds less pantomime in Japanese, I love HoTD dialogue.

That stupid edgy "story" game that is about your kid being stolen or something.

"Jason! Jason! Jason!"

The Shaun glitch is incredible.

Is Gunther Hermann silly, or intentionally silly?

I maintain this speech by the actor voicing "Goldman" is the single worst line reading ever delivered in any medium. It's not just a flat delivery, every syllable has the wrong emphasis. If you told someone to read a line badly on purpose, they couldn't produce something like this. It's staggering.

I know I've become the man who just mentions Breath of The Wild in every topic, but actually fuck you.

Mipha is hands down on of the worst voice performances I've ever heard in a game. Half her lines sound like a text to speech robot.

EDIT: listening back to that that again, I truly cannot believe they thought that was acceptable.

A quick google suggests HotD 1 & 2 are being remade for Switch this year.

Hope they keep the dialogue. Can't wait to play through it again.

Jerzy Bondov

It's in that compilation but here it is in context: Megaman 8. Still makes me laugh so much.

HotD 2 is still the champion for me. I was going to say it's a shame games don't have dubs like this anymore but Kelvin is right about BotW.

Yeah but the developers are are Polish! Polish House of The Dead!

The Star Trek Armada games had a few Starfleet captains who couldn't decide whether they were Scottish or Irish and sounded fucking horrendous.

From memory it was a pretty messy gaff and could do with a polish so this is probably a good move
